miningcontainers/monero-azure repository overview

⁠XMRig miner image for mining Monero on Azure

This XMRig image is kept up to date with the latest updates and is custom built in an Alpine container for best performance and size.

This image will CPU mine very well on any Docker host including Azure and AWS.

⁠Getting Started

The most simple execution is:

docker run -it miningcontainers/xmrig:latest -k --tls -o POOL:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD 

An excellent Monero mining pool is SupportXMR⁠. To mine at SupportXMR you use your monero wallet address as the username, and password is not required.

For Example:

docker run miningcontainers/xmrig:latest -k --tls -o pool.supportxmr.com:443 -u 48edfHu7V9Z84YzzMa6fUueoELZ9ZRXq9VetWzYGzKt52XU5xvqgzYnDK9URnRoJMk1j8nLwEVsaSWJ4fhdUyZijBGUicoD 

Here is another example for Nanopool⁠ (nanopool difficulty may be too high for low resource machines):

docker run miningcontainers/xmrig:latest --tls -o xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org:14433 -u 48edfHu7V9Z84YzzMa6fUueoELZ9ZRXq9VetWzYGzKt52XU5xvqgzYnDK9URnRoJMk1j8nLwEVsaSWJ4fhdUyZijBGUicoD --coin monero

⁠Running in Azure ACI

You can deploy directly to Azure Container Instances using our ARM template with the following button. This will be a single container, so you may want to modify the template to duplicate the container instances a few times to achieve a reasonable hash rate.

Or you can run manually using the native support in Docker Desktop for Windows/Mac.

You simply log Docker into Azure, create a context, and include the context on your normal run command.

Example:

docker login azure
docker context create aci myacicontext
docker --context myacicontext run miningcontainers/xmrig:latest -k --tls -o POOL:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD
